The Tarot: The King, The Church and The Cards: The history and meaning of the Tarotby Anne Burton
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
There arose in the fourteenth century a system of moral and spiritual teachings, a system that was used as game and guide, a system that was steeped in the symbols and icons of Kings, courts, and art of Renaissance Europe, a symbolism so powerful that it continues to teach us today. This tool is the Tarot. Upon its creation in approximately 1350, Tarot was accepted by the church and adopted by monks to help them remember the moral code and grow in their spiritual lives. What was it that the contemplative brothers saw in the Tarot? What universal truths did they learn from the cards? What spiritual truths are held in the pictures and symbols? How do these truths correspond to the Scriptures? Why did both King and Church later denounce the cards? Now, for the first time, the connection between the Tarot, the King, and fourteenth century monks is re-established and the wisdom of the Scriptures is revealed within the Tarot as it was in the brotherhood.
Contained in this work are the history, meaning, and use of the Tarot. Here, we re-establish the spiritual, Scriptural, and moral guidelines contained in the cards. The evolution of the cards from gaming to spiritual meditation, to daily lessons is explored. The history of Tarot will be discussed. How the cards became a parlor game and later a device of divination can be traced through social and religious change. Information and details on how to divine the past, present, and future will be shown as we explore the use of the cards in modern society. From the year 1300 to today, this book bridges the gap once and for all, bringing back to us the wisdom lost so long ago.
It is not the mind that moves the oracle. The Tarot kindly performs for both those amassed and bereft of the science, so called, of the mind. The oracle is moved by time itself. That thing, like the ocean tide, that ties all things, living and not, together into the dance and rhythm of synchronicity.

Loss prevention people at WalMart
Posted in the West Plains Forum
#1 Sep 5, 2012
I was looking at paint samples when I noticed some guy peeking over the fans one day. At first I thought maybe he was spun out on meth the way he kept bobbing up to peek over and look around.Then my husband pointed him out in another aisle we were in!I reported it to the store and they said it was probably just a loss prevention member.Frankly,I find it amusing he wasted so much time watching me and my husband as I'm sure the store got cleaned out on the other side.I also don't think they have the right to stare and peek, literally stalk a customer to the point they make one feel uncomfortable about looking at the goods. So anytime this happens again, I will simply walk out and leave my cart and shop elsewhere, where I feel welcome and not under a perv's watch.
#2 Sep 5, 2012
LOL you people will bitch about anything. The dudes job is to make sure people don't steal from the store. He's trained to pick out key items or certain things a person brings into the store (ex. Women with large purses, baggy cloths that would be easy to conceal things in, backpacks...) if you weren't doing anything wrong, what's the problem? Just go about your business and let him do his job. Also, how would they not have the right to stare at you? In a public place? Come on now...also, I'm pretty sure that you walking out if you happen to see them looking at you, isn't going to hurt Walmarts bottom line at all..just try and have some fun with it. Just walk around OBVIOUSLY concealing high ticket items or just whatever you came to shop for, and acting all shady, and then after you're satisfied that you've wasted enough of their time or you are done shopping. Walk up to them and hand them all the items and give them a little wink, it go pay for your stuff. Either way you've wasted their time and possibly belittled them because they will know you've just been fucking with them..people need to learn to lighten up.

There is a girl cashier overnight that steals cash from the drawer and the managers just don't care. Space between her teeth gives me the willies.
#5 Sep 5, 2012
Good idea, Dept92. The next time I go and notice this idiot I will take your advice. Hopefully, I will be asked to stop, and I will refuse and then possibly I will get dogpiled or unlawfully blocked from my car or unlawfully held in the store and then I will head straight to the lawyer! Great idea. Thanks!
#6 Sep 5, 2012
They follow me everytime I go to this Walmart. I just figure the women ones are just horney and the dude ones are just gay who can't stop looking at my nice firm buttocks. what's funny is this one time I slipped a cloth alarm bar in one of their pockets and then called the west plains police and told them I needed help by the grocery side doors and I waited by the donuts until I saw them pull up then walked real fast outside but when the store dick walked out after me a minute later I was standing by the cops and when store dick walked out he beeped. HEHEHE What an idiot he was, dumbshit, the cops even laughed, then I went to washington pawn right after that and pawned what I shopliffted, it was so cool. HEHEHE
#7 Sep 6, 2012
I think it is creepy that that guy walks around and literally stalks people who may not ever even steal!I think I will go in and stalk people to see if they will pick their nose or something. Just hide behind a stand of pickles and peek around to watch my target, follow them wherever they go, duck down and look up through a cart at them...to see if they will pick their nose at any time! LMAO Same difference.
#8 Sep 6, 2012
This walmart has one now thats older and looks like he works at a saw mill, beard, old cloths, the typical look of this area's hard working country folk. They also have a younger weaisel looking kid with a blue vest and a woman who looks kinda horney if you ask me. I can spot them a mile away everytime, thats why I lead them on a long walk around walmart everytime. The younger weisel stopped in the little girls panty section and was pretending he was looking at little girls panties while spying on a mark just the other day, then this woman one hangs around the mens underware dept way way too much, another easy spot, and this old country looking bumbkin is the easeist to spot, just walk down the healthy food isle if your being followed by him and you know damn well he don't eat healthy and has no reason to be in that isle pretending he is looking at health foods. If I ever become a shoplifter I will shoplift there just because these 3 piss me off so much, a panty sniffer of small childrens underware, a slut and a country bumbkin.
#9 Sep 6, 2012
Truth, you clearly don't know what you're talking about. There's only two that work there and neither match any of your descriptions.
#10 Sep 6, 2012
You are correct! I believe that was the same day that I cleaned out all of the extra large condoms. What department are you going to be in tomorrow? I may need some more "free" stuff.
#11 Sep 6, 2012
Yes I do and you know I now it. I can tell more if you would like, like for example one, if a customer buys alot of one item walmart raises that items price, example two, french bread made instore, used to be 0.98, now 1.98 and the ones you can't sell are lowerd to a 1.68.(??days old) what else would you like to know, just ask
#12 Sep 6, 2012
LOL by all means, proceed with you infinite wisdom. I'm not talking about price increases (which about 99% are not decided at store level). You are however way off base on your description of the 2 that actual work there. I suppose your description of the third, fictional AP, could be spot on..I am curious as to what else it is you "know". Let the conspiracy theories fly my man.
#13 Sep 7, 2012
Your just throwing off the public from the truth my man and are pissed I let the chickens out of the bag, and raiseing prices on whats made instore is decided by the said store, my man!
#14 Sep 7, 2012
yeah, when you refuse to stop, they can pretty much do whatever they want. it's private property. they get to decide how you shop, and if you are just in there to screw with them, they have every right to block you from stealing from them, or wasting their time. know the law and you won't sound so stupid next time.
#15 Sep 7, 2012
he's paid to do that ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. Walmart is not, nor will ever be public property. If you think its so creepy that they are trying to protect their merchandise, then open your own retail store, don't hire loss prevention or even train for it and I guarantee you will be done in less than a year.
#16 Sep 7, 2012
oh, and I'm sure walmart will love for you to pay their legal fees.
#17 Sep 7, 2012
This walmart isn't loseing any money from shopliffters like walmart wants you to beleive. I saw them almost tackle a lady in the parking lot for stealing a 2 doller item and drag her back into the store like thugs but they throw out hundreds of dollers worth of unsold cooked foods every week. These store dicks are just that, dicks. This walmart is higher on their prices then any other walmart anywhere because they can and will continue because they have the people trapped and forced to shop there because of the landowners in this town won't allow any other compatition buisness from coming in until they get all the money they can out of the people of this area. Fact. It only takes a handfull of people to hire a lawyer as a group to stop walmarts madness in this area. In this area there would be thousands wanting in on that. who wants to organize this and get the party started?
#18 Sep 7, 2012
Knock it off punk.
#19 Sep 7, 2012
As soon as you knock of the prices like walmart advertises, gunna beat anyones price or match it, bullpoop! PS. your greeter the other day didn't great me either, just looked at me and then I beleive called on a radio to your store dicks to stalk my every move, I couldn't eveen buy toilet paper that trip because I like to sqweeze my charmen and then got worried this rumor would circle west plains. PUNK!

#20 Sep 7, 2012

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- There's home-field advantage, and there is home-field advantage. In Nashville, where the Titans play in a non-sponsored stadium now known as The Coliseum, a case can be made that the Titans have a 26-point advantage when they play the Raiders.
You do the math. In two games played in Oakland's Network Associate Coliseum last year, the Titans defense allowed 93 points, including a 41-24 loss in the AFC Championship game. This was the Raiders' first game ever in Nashville. The result was a 25-20 loss to the Titans in which the Raiders offense didn't look like a Rich Gannon-led short-passing machine. Credit the fans as crowd noise killed Gannon's ability to communicate.
There were problems from the very first offensive series for the Raiders. Seasoned left tackle Barry Sims was called three times for false starts in eight plays. He had four false starts in the first quarter, which has to be some kind of a record. Overall, the Raiders had 17 penalties for 173 yards. Eleven of the penalties were on offense, including five false starts, three holdings, one illegal crackback block, another illegal block and an intentional grounding.
"That's what it means to have home-field advantage," Raiders right tackle Lincoln Kennedy said. "With Jevon Kearse coming off the corner, along with them having a pretty impressive blitz package, you have to stand up to those guys when you can't really hear. It takes you out of your game. Coming to a place like this is going to be hard on us."
Of course, the Raiders know the troubles of the road. Two years ago, their season ended prematurely when Tom Brady had a fumble overturned because of the "Tuck Rule.". How bad were things Sunday night? The Raiders actually benefited from a play in which Steve McNair fumbled when the ball came out of his hand before the tuck when it hit defensive tackle Roderick Coleman. They won that call, but lost the game.
"This is a hard, tough loss for us," Raiders coach Bill Callahan said. "It's disappointing in a lot of respects. It was a very tough game. Unfortunately, offensively we couldn't get anything going consistently enough. We didn't get in enough of a rhythm to basically sustain anything. We got backed up with penalties throughout the night. It's unfortunate."
Things were so bad that the Raiders almost lost Gannon in the fourth quarter. Kearse got away from Kennedy with 7:11 left in the fourth quarter and twisted Gannon to the ground like a cork screw, spraining Gannon's left leg. Gannon came to the sidelines and had to lie on a table while trainers attended to the injured knee. To the relief of the Raiders, he returned to the field and completed five consecutive passes in a 65-yard touchdown drive that cut the Titans lead to 22-20.
"It was almost like being in a bad dream," Raiders receiver Jerry Rice said. "It's a nightmare. But the nightmare is over now and we need to get ready for the next one."
Gannon appears to be healthy, but the Raiders came out of the game with a lot of concerns. Kennedy has a very sore knee and his body looks beat up, and this is only the opener. Wide receiver Jerry Porter only participated in a few plays because of his abdominal pull.
Fullback Chris Hetherington couldn't finish the game because of a hamstring injury. Safety Anthony Dorsett injured a lower leg, and the only thing he said he knew about the injury is that it isn't broken. Wide receiver Ronald Curry suffered a knee injury.
The Raiders used two rookies -- tight end Teyo Johnson and halfback Justin Fargas -- along with backup receiver Alvis Whitted more than anyone expected. The lesson learned Sunday night is that it is going to be tough for the Raiders to repeat as the AFC champs, particularly if they are going to play road games in the playoffs.
"We played off the crowd's feeling and emotion tonight," cornerback Samari Rolle said. "We lost our composure a little bit and let them get some easy scores there at the end to make it close, but we were able to pull it out. Last year against them, we didn't have a healthy Jevon. But he's healthy now and you see what a difference it makes when you put the quarterback under pressure the whole night."
In a neutral site or at home, the Raiders match up well against the Titans. They have big offensive linemen. The Titans are small at the ends with Kearse and Carlos Hall in the nickel. Kearse is 255. Hall is 261. They give up 50-to-80 pounds against the Raiders blockers. But in Nashville, Kearse and Hall are Supermen because of the crowd. Each had a sack. Each had numerous pressures. Each caused false starts.
"Both of them twitch at the line of scrimmage trying to draw you offsides," Sims said. "As a blocker, you are trying to go off the quarterback's movement, but on the road, you can't hear anything. You also can't have penalties on the road and we had too many. There is no excuse for so many false starts."
The Titans had their own problems. New center Justin Hartwig was called for three holdings and one tripping penalty. The powerful Titans offensive line couldn't open running lanes against the Raiders defense and the Titans had to run out the clock by passing the ball. Overall, the Titans had 11 penalties for 111 yards.
The difference, though, was Steve McNair. The guy is the game's most valuable player.
Eddie George isn't the Eddie George of the past. Everything was left to McNair, who completed 25 of 38 for 269 yards and two touchdowns.
"The more Steve plays, the better he gets," said wide receiver Derrick Mason. "On the run, he threw some great balls. In the pocket, he threw some great balls. He scrambled when he had [to]. If Steve is playing well, the team is playing well."
Mason knows what to do when McNair scrambles. Mason got behind Dorsett in the back of the end zone in the fourth quarter. McNair bought time with his feet until he spotted Mason, who made a leaping catch in the back of the end line. Though he appeared close to being out of bounds, Dorsett pushed Mason so he landed several yards out of bounds. Officials ruled Dorsett pushed Mason out, and the touchdown stood.
"I don't think Mason would have come down inbounds under his own power," Dorsett said. "To me, it looked like the way he jumped, his momentum carried him out of bounds. It was a judgment call."
So was a second-quarter play in which safety Rod Woodson stole a ball from Titans tight end Erron Kinney while Kinney was being wrestled to the ground. A quick whistle ended the play and cost the Raiders an easy touchdown.
Questionable officiating was the one thing both sides agreed upon. The Raiders got a second-quarter touchdown drive thanks to an unsportsmanlike conduct call on Titans defensive tackle Robaire Smith. Referee Ron Blum claimed Smith touched an official, which gave the Raiders a first down and caused Smith to be ejected from the game.
"It was a poorly officiated game," Titans defensive lineman Kevin Carter said. "It was sloppy. Robaire said an official got his hands on him, and he was just reacting to somebody getting their hands on him. There is tension out there between these two teams. Everyone knows that and guys are going to react. He gets 15 yards? What are you talking about, dude? We play football. Putting your hands on somebody in the heat of battle is going to have somebody react."
Smith left, but the crowd stayed behind him and the team. The Titans might have lost a defensive tackle for a game, but their 12th man -- the crowd -- earned MVP honors Sunday night.

well that's just, like, your opinion, man
My own dream class for 2010
"Ok, a few short notes. I am a Texas high school football coach, so I am knowledgeable and not just some n00b. I don't post much on here because I don't have much free time (see above). Having stated thus, this is meant as my own dream class, if you will. Before you point out the obvious, I am fully aware that these kids are not all (or even close to most) going to commit to U-M and/or ever play in the Maize and Blue. That's why it is my "dream" class. Because we don't know the exact number of kids that will be in this class, I am using a 25 member "full class" as my baseline. Have at it:
Devin Gardner (QB)
Christian Green (QB)
Lache Seastrunk (RB)
Corey Brown (RB)
Austin White (RB)
Ricardo Miller (OWR)
Jeremy Jackson (OWR)
Jerald Robinson (OWR)
Brandon Ifill (SWR)
Chris Dunkley (SWR)
Robert Crisp (OL)
Seantrel Henderson (OL)
Torrian Wilson (OL)
Dior Mathis (CB)
Lo Wood (CB)
Cullen Christian (CB)
Marvin Robinson (S)
Jordan Haden (S)
William Gholston (LB)
Ishmael Thomas (LB)
Derrick Bryant (DE)
Darryl Baldwin (DE)
Jonathon Hankins (DT)
Jay Guy (DT)
Torrea Peterson (DT)
So, that makes 13 on offense, on 12 on defense. Obviously a "dream" class, but we can all dream can't we?
Feel free to comment/suggest/question any of my choices. I'm aware that there aren't many in-state names on this list, but again, this is not how I would recruit, just a pipedream of a once in a lifetime class. Like I said, it's nice to dream...
Thinking Positive - LBs
This is to be the second in a string of diaries looking for reasons to think positively about the upcoming season. For my first edition, I covered DBs.
For those of you that did not read my first entry, I'm writing these because it is depressing to think that we're going to go 3-9 or 4-8 again. This is not meant to be a 100% honest look at everything, I intentionally have my Maize and Blue glasses on; I'm looking for the positives here. Still, if you think we're going 9-3 or 10-2 I hope you're right, but that seems lofty. The aim and tone of this is set to show we can go 7-5, or maybe 8-4 if we get some bounces. Additionally, I don't have the time or patience to do extensive research, there is a lot of opinion in here, with some stats and background research, but not a lot.
For my second submission, I'll look at LBs and try to convince everyone that overall we are better off at this position than last year. I can't stress enough that "better off" is relative...
Okay, so as an intro, I feel like I was a lot more frustrated with our middle linebacker play than most, particularly in coverage. The curl zones and flats (7-15 yards, from sideline to sideline, roughly) are usually the linebackers' responsibility . It seemed like anytime an opposing team had a 3rd and 5 or 3rd and 10, these are the zones they would attack. By and large they were successful. They kept the chains moving, scored points and caused us to be the 2nd worst defense in the big 10 statistically. So, definitely plenty of room for improvement.
Inside Linebackers
Obi Ezeh: Definitely our most seasoned guy. His play was hot and cold last year, showing flashes of promise, raw athleticism mixed with misreads and blown coverages. I don't really remember his recruitment, but if rivals is to be believed, he was actually recruited as a 3* running back (you'll have to select 2006 fromt he pulldown menue). So I know what you're thinking: Why do we have a 3* running back playing linebacker? Well, I don't know. What I do know is that this isn't a 'simple' transition like the transition from corner to safety is thought to be. This takes time. He was a redshirt sophmore last year. With another year of experience and learning, given the position change, significant improvements can (and probably will) still be made. I think we see a noticeable uptick in his play this year. He was our team leader in tackles last year, by far (98 vs. 76). With the extra experience, he will cut down on his blown coverages and hold down the middle.
JB Fitzgerald: True freshmen last year who saw the majority of his action on special teams. At 6'3" 230 and running a 4.7 coming into college, he's built in the mold of the old school middle linebacker. These are almost exactly the same physical attributes John Thompson had coming in. Thompson, however, was a 3*, whereas Fitzgerald was a 4*. With identical physical stats, to garner the extra star Fitzgerald must have more intuition and/or physicality. I'm hoping Barwis can chop 0.1 or 0.15 seconds off that 40 time, because to realistically be decent in coverage, he'll need that speed. However Thompson (who will always hold a special place in my heart due to the Wisconsin pick six) definitely lacked instincts. He bit on fakes and was in the wrong place at the wrong time more than he should have been. He was also slow in coverage, but I have no real reason to believe Fitzgerald will be any faster. I do, however, believe he will have better instincts and can fill Thompson's role just fine.
Others: Kenny Demens was a 4* linebacker that I believe redshirted. He was average size coming in at 6'1" 225 and decent speed running a 4.6. Haven't seen him play yet, so it's possible he ends up at OLB. If not, he may well be the most athletic of the inside linebackers. I can see him getting some duty in passing situations, and maybe push for more playing time toward the end of the season.
Outside Linebackers
Mouton: This is a guy who throughout last season we said has potential. He does. He was second on the team in tackles. He was a DB coming into school, and a 4* at that. he was a redshirt sophmore this past season. Before this past season he had only seen action on special teams. The position change along with limited action explains the occasional bonehead play. I really think he's going to surprise a lot of people and is going to surpass Ezeh as our best linebacker this year. And that's not a knock against Ezeh, because as stated above I think he's going to be good.
Evans: In a word... bad. Evans just is not that skilled. He started one game, saw decent action, and still was only in on 4 tackles. He'll probably start the season with the starting job. Nothing against him (he was only a 2*, afterall), but I hope somebody starts outperforming him midway through this year. But, he is around if we need him. And, he should be improved.
Others: As stated above it is possible Kenny Demens ends up outside. He was already kind-of broken down above. Also, we have Heron. He seems destined for special teams play, but who knows. Maybe he'll get a chance if Demens or Evans doesn't pan out. There is also a couple of freshmen, but they are 3* types and probably need some time to develop. One of them (Brandon Hawthorne) is enrolled early, so maybe he'll be better than anticipated. Finally, there's always the possibility of a young, large safety-type making the move to OLB (Vlad Emilian?). Who knows? This second OLB spot is going to be interesting.
In the middle, Ezeh will be improved. Not just improved, he will be good. JB Fitzgerald is ready to play run-stuffer, but will probably have to work on his coverage.
On the outside, Mouton is making his move. He won't be an all American, but he cracks all big-ten (2nd team), and I bet he'll be in the running for most improved player on the team. The second spot on the outside is a little bit shady, but worst case scenario, we have an improved Evans.
Finally, we have Kenny Demens who could be a coverage ILB or if we're lucky, an every down OLB opposite Mouton. Anybody have any info on where the coaches are putting him?
At any rate... I see LBs as a whole being the most improved group on the defense. This is more of a function of them having so much room to improve than amazing play. Overly optimistic prediction? Yes: they will be better than average this year, even for Michigan defenses if they can figure out that last OLB spot. Not all-time great linebacking corps, but better than average.
Steven Threet as John McClane
I started liking the allusion of Steven Threet as John McClane - a competent, skilled professional thrust into a role he never could have expected with a completely different set of rules and a constant, grumpy boss of sorts on the sidelines criticizing up and down his actions. And sometimes UM fans would see him hit or throwing or hit or intercepted and it's easy to think back to watching McClane walking over broken glass... you knew it sucked but it had to happen to beat the bad guys. And I'm sure even Threet must have thought "Yippee-Ki-Yay Motherfuckers" when he lead UM over Wisconsin, especially when he awkwardly galloped 40 yards or so before hilariously covering the ball with chin, arms, elbows, knees, EVERYTHING TO AVOID FUMBLING to the amusement (and relief) of us all. But McClane wins at the end. He throws a guy off a building, gets the girl and then finds himself in some horrible, semi-similar airport situation blablabla. Imagine if John McClane had just found an open fire door, helped some heavily armed SWAT cop just out of the academy in and then walked off for a Slurpee. This metaphor sucks (Who's Carl Winslow in that season?) but you get the idea:
It was painful, he didn't expect to be there, he was there, he shot some bad guys, he got banged up pretty bad, but he didn't save the day.
And we have to be okay with that.
One thing of note to add as an addendum to Brian's post is that by his own admission Threet was isolating himself completely from anything sports media related while taking counsel from one of the most derided, albeit successful, QBs in recent UM history - John Navarre. Sometimes quarterbacks seek to play big football and are horrified to see that with it comes a duty of sorts to the public to not only succeed but to put up with criticisms. Something like the sins of the father, high profile football, particularly at a school like UM that rides their QBs harder than (insert inappropriate joke) can frustrate and dampen a young quarterback's positivity. With the fact that every major newspaper reporting on Forcier included a tidbit about how grateful he was to have the "help" and "teaching" of Sheridan and Threet, almost in a way that could be read as condescending, I would not be shocked if an heir apparent emerged in Ann Arbor the day winter semester began and, with the writing on the wall and a high profile position barely in grasp, though assuredly nowhere near in hand come 2010, Threet left.
For now I have one simple request: Tate Forcier watches all 3 Die Hards, sees how they end and, maybe, takes out a grim faced revolutionary with a stellar performance. If he wants to QB sneak in the OSU game by strapping the football to his back with wrapping tape - I'm all for it. Just finish the damn movie.* Because right now we're all watching a team limp over broken glass and it really...really sucks.
*And that he brings along Samuel L Jackson. And leaves behind the Apple computer kid.
On Michigan Stadium fans, intimidation, and the game-day experience.
There have been a couple board posts about the game-day experience at Michigan Stadium in the last few days, ranging from the boring nature of Michigan fans to unflattering comparisons to Michigan's louder, more raucous and fun football schools. FWIW, such has struck a chord with me, and I've decided to post my first diary (diatribe?) on MGoBlog about it. Why? It's a valid question; I probably could have found a more productive way to spend the last 20 or so minutes. At the heart of the matter I felt so compelled to point out, in my opinion, is that where some may see 'boring', they should instead see Michigan culture and something of which to be proud.
For starters, the Michigan Stadium experience has to be considered on its own terms. It's dishonest to compare Michigan's traditions to those of others schools hoping to come out with a break-even rubric. If it was all about noise, 'white-outs', and 'jump-around', then the hierarchy of college football fandom (and 'intimidation') in the Big Ten securely has its leaders.
However, when you think about it, you'll notice that's not remotely the case. Noise is nice, loud is good, and I'm all about drunken high-fives and back-slapping when it's appropriate. But that's not what Michigan Stadium is about.
Michigan has "the Victors". Only a handful of schools have such a storied and inspired/inspiring fight song, and even less with a band talented enough to do it justice. Michigan has the "Let's Go Blue" bell, Temptation and the Hawaiian War Chant. There won't be any jock-jams, amplified synthetic noise, or corporate pageantry at Michigan Stadium. The focus will be on the field, on the Band, and on Tradition. (Having said this, I'm not against amplifying a "Let's Go Blue" bell, Michigan fanfare, or the sound of keys jangling over the PA if it will get the whole stadium clapping and cheering together. PA prompts to cheer are OK with me so long as they don't overwhelm focus off the field).
On the scoreboard, Michigan Stadium proudly lists the years for all 42 conference titles, 11 claimed national titles. Michigan has had 150 All-Americans, 3 Heisman winners, and over 870 overall wins (leading the NCAA). These are the stats that each of the 107,501 Michigan faithful exude en masse every game-day; some express the Michigan tradition with facepaint, maize shirts, blue shirts, no shirts... and for many, in no Michigan apparel at all. And I think we should be OK with that. Because to me, having a grandpa at the game who sits quietly and watches his 100th, 150th or 200th win at U-M with little to no fanfare of his own making doesn't take away from my game experience but has a hand in making it.
When the new additions are completed, Michigan Stadium will draw over 108,000 people (young, old, alums, students), and we can rest assured it will be a classy crowd: folks who've come to watch a game played the Michigan way, and chances are they'll see the other team lose.
Conversely, every time an opposing team comes to the Big House, chances are slim they're coming away with a win. Michigan's all-time wins: 872–294–36 (.740); the proof, as they say, is in the pudding. Such is a level of intimidation that a bunch of idiots in white t-shirts, or dancing around to music that wasn't even cool in 1992, can only dream to achieve. What more do you really want?
As I'm trying to emphasize, the crowd and "intimidation" of Michigan Stadium can't be considered along the same terms as most any other school. It's my sense that many MGoBloggers would like the U-M experience to match game-day at Bobby-Dodd, the Swamp or Tiger Stadium. My response to this is that stadium (and collegiate) experiences in southern and certain western states where you can wear t-shirts and shorts year-round, attend night-games, and project sports-bar culture into football Saturdays are on a different plane than their mid-western counterparts. You could almost do a case-study on the geographical/sociological factors contributing to 'fandom' with these comparisons. Because I find that kind of thing interesting, I'll continue.
First: If the Michigan crowd could wear t-shirts to every game and didn't have to bundle up in fleeces and coats as the temperature drops, then you would see 108,000 people wearing the same shirt to every game-day. Same would likely create a mob-mentality, and people would be more apt to yell and cheer with singular voice and purpose. As it is at Michigan, when folks have to start donning heavier clothes, each fan is individualized in his/her own clothes and winter-gear. Individualization detracts from extroversion, and people become less apt to cheer with 'one voice'. (There are interesting psych studies on the issue of fans and mob-mentality I would link to, but you can just Google it and find some for yourself).
Second: Michigan Stadium has to some degree been forced to stick to the Saturday afternoon schedule in lieu of greater 'fandamonium' at night-games because of restricted game-day commuter options. You and I may likely agree, a party-atmosphere is at the heart of the game-day experience at all of the schools we sometimes fantasize Michigan could level up to. Unfortunately, Michigan, as home of GM and the Big Three, emphasized family cars over trains and busses. Without a viable option to commute after rounds of collegiate revelry, people have to be considerate of their commutes home. No/less spirits prior or during the game = less "spirit" in the Stadium.
As for the night-games, I've read scholarly opinions that people become more extroverted in the dark and under the light than during the day-time. I believe there's truth to this. However, Michigan Stadium has its hands tied a little bit here; I think we'd have to wait and see if a night-game experiment could still draw the same crowd and revenue as the afternoons. I would guess that the Stadium would be louder in any event.
Third: winning has a funny way of 'stuffying up' a crowd. Teams with winning traditions attract front-runner fans; and to a degree these people don't do the term "fan" (short for "fanatic") justice. As a by-product, the winning program may often realize the unfortunate result of having its biggest rival seemingly boast "better fans." This bothers me more than anything: that Yankees fans are somehow less "fanatical" than Red Sox fans. I've heard the same problem with respect to our neighbors across the Pond; Manchester United fans vs. Liverpool.
All else being equal, I would suspect that if you thinned the Michigan Stadium crowd by eliminating the fair-weather and/or front-runner fans from game-day, and then transplanted the remaining fans into a Stadium that trapped noise instead of sending it into the ether (Autzen?), you'd have a very loud and enthusiastic group.
Last: weeks ago, someone posted a great article written by Mitch Albom discussing the state of the State of Michigan. It was a really well-written piece, irrespective of your affinity for the author. In the column, Albom discusses the "Michigan fan" in sociological terms: as humble, respectful, tradition-oriented folk. I think there's something to this, and it correlates to the type of crowd you see at Michigan Stadium.
For me, I tend to embrace these factors as a fan, because it speaks to unique qualities about what makes Michigan football "Michigan Football". Where you see boring, I see Michigan culture. As an out-of-state student (NYer), I considered the humble friendly nature of most mid-westerners with whom I engaged as an asset to the state and to the school (it's a stereotype, but well-placed in my opinion).
Where you might demand volume in decibals, I look in awe at the volume in numbers for a Stadium that demands its fans to actually drive to game-day. It may be a lot to ask of family-men and women to commit to an hour+ trek to the Stadium, have their family tailgates, and then up the excitement level for 3 hours only to get in their cars and sit in traffic on the way home. The people blogging on this site represent a faction of the fans who probably would up the ante upon entering the Stadium, but most fans at that point are just going to want to watch the game on their bums, cheering wildly after TDs and interceptions but in restrained merriment throughout.
When all is said and spoken for, you're left with a very "Michigan" (I hope not boring?) experience: an unrivaled sense of support for the home-team, loyalty through thick and thin (numbers dropped at the Stadium in 2008, but never below 106,734 [Miami-Ohio]; think about that), and above all, pride. Pride for tradition, and pride for the men on the field. I think and I hope that the players sense same. I get the impression that they do, because I believe this is what's at the heart of being a "Michigan Man": an athlete deserving of such unbridled, almost religious, support. I would imagine the opposition senses it, especially our mid-western rivals; such would certainly intimidate me as a player, as far as any level of noise could intimidate. It's my new hope that when fans look out across the masses at Michigan Stadium, even the quiet ones, they'll have a greater sense and appreciation for the thing that is the Michigan Experience, and Michigan Culture. In my opinion, it's really something to be proud of.
If booing has become an issue at Michigan Stadium, I'm glad I didn't witness it during my run at U-M from 2000-2004; I don't remember ever hearing multiple fans boo. It's unacceptable. If it ever happened, the 'booers' would have been sorely derogated. I sincerely hope this is not becoming a recurring problem.
Thinking positive - DBs
So, like many people, my thinking is swinging between the depressing "Argghhh here comes another 3-9 season" and unrealistic expectation of "Tate & D-Rob are the 2nd coming of my lord and savior". I tend to fall more toward the former than the latter, and that is depressing.
So, in a series of diaries I'm going to try to convince myself, and maybe some of you, that significant improvement is on the way this season. If you think we're going 9-3 or 10-2 I hope you're right, but that seems lofty. The aim and tone of this is set to show we can go 7-5, or maybe 8-4 if we get some bounces.
For my first submission, I'll look at DBs and try to convince everyone that overall we are better off at this position than last year. I can't stress enough that "better off" is relative...
Donovan Warren: Warren is a stud, he was in on 52 tackles, had an interception and 4 pass breakups. Considering it seemed like the opposition went at him relatively infrequently, this is quite impressive. He seems to be a sure tackler, and limits the YACs (yes, I do remember the slant that went for a TD, and that seemed like an isolated event). I think most are pretty confident with him, so I won't waste more time here.
Boubacar Cissoko: I assume he will be taking care of duties on the other side of the field. This probably makes everyone kind of nervous because he is so smurf-y, but i'm going to try and talk you into it. In spot duty as a freshman, he broke up 3 passes (tied for 2nd on the team) and was in on 15 tackles. Also, he's FAST with a (fake) forty time of 4.4 coming out of high school. Let's not forget that he was a 4* to rivals even with his height, and it's their job to know these things. He should be at least serviceable. Morgan Trent was a huge letdown for me this past season after showing promise as a junior, so I'm hoping Boo-Boo can fill his role, though probably not in the leadership realm.
Others: After that, I think incoming freshman Justin Turner has a chance to play a role similar to what Cissoko did last year. He also has the size Cissoko lacks. In a perfect world, he is successful enough to move to a full-time corner for the last third of the season. This would allow Cissoko to move to a nickelback role, which is his true calling in my opinion. I don't think that will happen, but it's the ceiling of what he can achieve as a true frosh. We also have Woolfolk and Johnson who have some game experience. They certainly can't be every-down players unless they've shown some significant improvements but they add depth and a little veteran knowledge to the mix.
The only contributing CB we lose is Trent, who as previously mentioned was a disappointment this season. I think he had a good head on his shoulders and was a good leader, but he was exposed as kind of meh as far as his raw skill and instincts go. His stats were similar to Warren's, but it seemed like they went at him twice as much. He also gave up a few big plays that don't show up on the stat sheet.
Oh god, how could these be any worse? What a nightmare in 2008. Okay, enough of that, here comes an analysis of the players.
Stevie Brown: I'll be gentle on this one since this is a relative comparison to last year, and not judging on an absolute scale. At worst he's the same, but it is much more likely that he improved at least some. I'm not saying he'll be "good", but he should be better than last year. I'm really hoping the best for this kid, he shouldered a lot of blame last year, and some (though not all) was undeserved. He may have played poorly, but man he took a ripping when he clearly was trying his absolute best and was more upset than anyone at his failings. Would love to see him get some redemption. Moving on.
Michael Williams: Who is going to fill in for Harrison? Other than QB, I think this is the most important question on the team for next year. It isn't because Harrison was great (he was average at best, just looked good in comparison to Brown). It's because we all witnessed, painfully, exactly what poor safety play can do to a defense. Just imagine how much worse things would have been last year if our two safeties had been Stevie Brown and... Stevie Brown. No thanks. Anyway, I think Michael Williams is the kid most ready to step into the other starting role. Not only does he have the most game experience (18 tackles, 2 for loss), he also was a 4* recruit to rivals coming into college. He was the only not-terrible DB in the Illinois game last year. In fact at a quick glance at UFRs, I did not see one negative play for Williams all year (I only looked at a few games, definitely could have missed something). I don't know what reasons the coaches had for not playing him last year, but those reasons couldn't have been good enough. My only concern here other than inexperience is speed. Coming in, rivals lists him with a 4.67 which is not very quick for a DB. I can't find anything more recent. Silver lining? 2 years of Barwis hopefully improved his speed and at safety, much more than corner, you can overcome a lack of blazing speed with heady play (which the lack of negatives in the UFR suggest he has).
Brandon Smith: He (I think) redshirted last year. He was a 4* to rivals with 4.5 speed, and he was a big dude at 6-2 210. He had 9 INTs in high school his junior year and was an Army All-American. He is a wild-card in this race and could go either way as a total bust, or push Williams for the starting position.
Others: We have a frosh righteously named Vlad Emilien. He'll probably end up an LB, but maybe he'll play some safety as a true freshman before he bulks up and makes the transition. There's a chance he's underrated, since he was injured for his senior season, but there is probably just as good of a chance that the injury set him back and he's overrated. Let's hope for the former. Artis Chambers left so, like... bummer. That leaves freshmen Adrian Witty and Mike Jones and other people that we better hope don't see the field. If they do, not to be a jerk, but: yikes.
Cornerbacks we should have an improved Donovan Warren, an improved Cissoko that hopefully can be the equivalent of Morgan Trent, and a freshman that has a chance to play the role Cissoko played but with better size. We also have a couple guys that can handle spot duty, and they even have some minimal experience. Net gain.
Safeties we have a he-must-have improved Stevie Brown, one guy that saw spot duty and showed a lot of promise, and another somewhat unknown guy that came in highly rated and was red shirted. Actually, you know what? Screw this. There is no possible way our safeties are worse than last year. Even if they are a push (they will be better than a push), with the improvement at corner our defensive backfield shows a net gain.
OFF TOPIC: Somebody less stupid than me should post a formatting how-to. I want to use neat bullets and bold and such, and this being my first actual submission, I have no idea how to do that.
UPDATE: I know how to bold things now. Woooo progress.
What if the ref held his flag??
I tread lightly seeing the bashing the Mallett post took, but I am always fascinated with how every little decision or event can send your life in a different tangent and how it effects everyone else. Since it was the game I have most wanted in my entire life, I submit what if the ref doesn't call Crable for a late hit??
Michigan with their offense on a roll drives down to defeat the Buckeyes and the 06 game surpasses the 69 game in Michigan lore as they "win 1 for Bo".
Michigan then goes down and pounds Mike Hart into Floridas quick but light defense and we harass C. Leak all night on our way to a NC.
A spent Lloyd Carr almost surely retires and Long, Henne and Hart head off to the NFL. Lloyd Carr with his legacy restored and 2 NC's in his pocket is allowed by Martin to virtually name his successor.
That by all accounts leaves Miles out and we end up with Debored at HC and Loeffler running the offense and English running the defense.
Heading into 07 the team looks much like 08 did. A lot of holes on offense with a young oline and a QB battle between the older Forcier and Mallett, but experienced WR in Arrington and Manningham.
My guess is today on Mgoblog we would be discussing 2 "down" years while we were in the Alamo and Citrus bowls and how we need to fire Debored. In the meantime we speculate on the greatness of our next stud QB Nick Montana as Loefller rolls out the red carpet for Joe and his son and the ND nation recoils in horror at the prospect of Montana's kid coming to Michigan. Most are pumped about Montana coming, but there is another faction saying we need someone more mobile like Gardner because Loeffler has been down in WV studying the spread from Rodriguez, who is riding high after winning a NC in 08, and we are looking to incorporate some spread concepts into our packages.

Ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury is a pathophysiological process whereby hypoxic organ damage is accentuated following return of blood flow and oxygen delivery to the compromised tissue. Transient episodes of hepatic ischemia occur during solid organ transplantation, trauma, hypovolemic shock, and elective liver resection, when inflow occlusion or total vascular exclusion is used to minimize blood loss. The pathophysiology of liver I/R injury includes both direct cellular damage as the result of the ischemic insult as well as delayed dysfunction and damage resulting from activation of inflammatory pathways. Activation of the inflammatory pathways involves Toll-like receptor 4 signaling and the nuclear factor high mobility group box 1.1–3 Histopathological changes include cellular swelling, vacuolization, endothelial cell disruption, neutrophil infiltration, and hepatocellular necrosis.4, 5
Early ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is a strategy used clinically to prevent I/R injury. It consists of a brief period of ischemia followed by a short interval of reperfusion before a more sustained ischemic insult. The preconditioning phenomenon is based on the principle that cells primed by various kinds of stress trigger defense mechanisms against subsequent lethal injury of the same or different type.5 IPC has been shown to protect the liver against I/R injury in experimental models6–9 as well as in patients undergoing hepatectomy.10 Tumor necrosis factor, adenosine, nitric oxide, heat shock proteins, insulin-like growth factor, and cell adhesion molecules have been implicated in mechanisms that limit I/R-induced injury following IPC.6, 7, 11, 12 However, the signaling pathway activated by IPC that prevent I/R-induced damage is incompletely characterized.
The phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI3) kinase/Akt pathway is an important survival pathway involved in protection against various stressors. Activation of this pathway promotes cell survival in part by its modulation of various downstream elements involved in apoptosis.13, 14 Akt phosphorylates Bad, blocking the proapoptotic action of this prodeath Bcl-family protein.15 Akt has also been found to phosphorylate and inactivate glycogen synthase kinase β (GSK-3β). GSK-3β is a protein involved in the regulation of cellular metabolism, and phosphorylation of GSK-3β by Akt has been found to suppress caspase-3 activity and block apoptosis.16, 17 Recent studies have shown that activation of the Akt pathway plays a protective role during I/R.18–20 However, the mechanism by which Akt activation results in protection from I/R is not clear. In the present study, we show that mice undergoing IPC were protected from hepatic I/R injury through reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated activation of Akt. This occurred in association with the inhibition of I/R-induced c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), Bad, and GSK-3β phosphorylation.

Dear friends and watchers,
This is , posting on behalf of Rayo. I have some sad news to pass on today. Rayo.. has passed away after his hospital struggles... I'm at a bit of a loss for words currently, so this may end up being a bit short.
Rayo asked me that, in the event of his passing, to fill you guys in, so here I am with what will in all likelihood be the final journal/posting on this account. I don't know how well each of you may have known , but I know that I, at least, hurt... a lot. I was friends with Rayo for a long time now, i've helped him through some bery tough times...and I can't begin to put to words how much I will miss him..
I'm sorry for having to be the bearer of such bad news, but I think he had some guess this was coming, cause I don't think he'd have asked this of me otherwise.
So... well, Goodbye, Rayo, you were a wonderful friend for the time I was able to know you.
I understand that Rayo had some enemies, but please, PLEASE be kind.
Please do not be rude in the comments, this is hard for a lot of us. Let us mourn in peace...

I didn't always like the Nissan Juke. When it launched in 2010, I just couldn't get over the way it looked – it came across as super weird, and kind of hideous at first blush. But I slowly warmed up to the funky little crossover/hatchback/thing, and after spending some time behind the wheel, I really learned to love Nissan's small wonder. It's a genuine hoot to drive, offering hot hatch-like thrills in a package that doesn't look like anything else on the road. The Nismo and RS models that

The Murano has an interesting position within the Nissan stable. On one hand, its size puts it between the Rogue and Pathfinder, both of which are geared more toward families, big and small. And while the Murano could easily be used for hauling your brood, that's not exactly its forte. After all, unlike it's siblings, it offers no third row accommodations. There's no rear-seat entertainment system available. There are no clever storage systems.

Despite our tendency as enthusiasts to clamor for things like wagons and hot hatchbacks, it's hard to argue with the buying public's increasing demand for functional crossovers.

Due to the nature of mass production, a faulty part on a car can cause a recall numbering in the tens to hundreds of thousands of vehicles, even if not all of the cars in the recall are defective and need a fix. "Better safe than sorry" is the mantra. But over the past few years, automakers have learned how to perform recalls much more efficiently by employing technology that allows them to trace parts back to their sources, Automotive News reports. An extreme result of this is when General Moto

Right-wing publisher rehabilitates Lindbergh, says SalonBreaking News
The influential conservative publishing house Regnery has just released a book that argues, contrary to popular belief, that aviator and political leader Charles Lindbergh was neither anti-semitic nor pro-German, but rather was the victim of an unfounded smear campaign by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
According to promotional material, the book,"Lindbergh vs. Roosevelt: The Rivalry That Divided America" by James Duffy, argues that Lindbergh was the target of a"vicious personal vendetta by President Roosevelt" that"blighted his reputation forever." FDR's campaign, the book argues, also amounted to a"modern-day playbook for the Left and their attack on those who speak out against them."
We can't fully judge the book until we've read it. But the book jacket explicitly says:
This groundbreaking book reveals: ... Why the popular belief that Lindbergh was an anti–Semite is absolutely wrong

Cooking For Kids With Diabetes
If you or a loved one has a medical condition that requires dietary adjustments, you may understand the frustration and fear that cookbook author Moira McCarthy felt after her daughter, Lauren, was diagnosed with Type 1 (juveniles) diabetes.
Parents know that children can be finicky eaters, perhaps resisting fruits and vegetables or refusing to eat anything other than a few favorite foods. Imagine how the parents' task becomes more difficult when a child is diagnosed with a medical condition whose management necessitates dietary restrictions.
That experience led McCarthy, assisted by pediatrician Dr. Leslie Young, to compile a new cookbook, "The Everything Guide to Cooking for Children with Diabetes." The spiral-bound, soft-cover cookbook is published by Adams Media of Avon, Mass., as part of its "Everything" series.
After sobbing in the supermarket upon her daughter's diagnosis, McCarthy set out to learn new ways to cook with her child's needs in mind. She writes, "The good news was I learned that in today's world, food is no longer the enemy, and with good planning, some smart cooking and the support of a good medical team, my daughter's life didn't have to be drastically changed. In fact, I realized, diabetes might help bring my entire family to a better place."
The first three chapters of the book are devoted to sharing information about the dietary aspects of managing diabetes. The first chapter addresses "Life, the Diabetes Diet and the Pursuit of Normalcy." The second chapter is titled "Getting Started," while the third chapter explores the topic, "To Meal Plan or Not."
A hallmark of the "Everything" series is that the text is interspersed with short paragraphs marked "Alerts," "Essentials," "Facts" or "Questions," and printed on a green background to highlight these useful nuggets of information.
Recipes fill the remaining 12 chapters of the book. Some of the recipes are accompanied by a cooking tip or brief explanatory note from the authors. The chapter headings are as follows: "Super Day Starters (Breakfasts That Set the Stage for the Entire Day)"; "School Lunch, Home Lunch and Lunch on the Run"; "Delightful Dinners for Everyone"; "Holidays That Rock"; "Birthday Parties and Sleepovers"; "Picnics and Cookouts"; "Super Snacks"; "Sick-Day Recipes"; "International Flavor, D-Kid's Style"; "Decadent Diabetes Desserts"; "Takeout Made In" and "Free Foods Worth a Million."
The volume concludes with appendixes on top diabetes centers in major cities and a glossary of basic cooking terms. Author McCarthy is the national chairman of outreach and a national spokesman for the Juveniles Diabetes Research Foundation.
For experimentation, I decided to prepare the cookbook's recipe for pork roast. One might wonder what role pork roast could play in a diabetic child's diet, but the authors' note offers a clue: "While you want to teach your child about portion control, you also want them to feel some sense of freedom. With a main dish having a carb count as low as this one, allow your child to choose their portion size, small or large. Explain it's a healthy choice, green-light food."
This recipe for pork roast was not unlike my usual, make-it-up-myself formula for preparing a pork roast. The ingredients were essentially the same, except for the addition of a bay leaf (which I omitted because I forgot to buy a bay leaf). I figured that the omission of a bay leaf wouldn'r make a great difference in the overall taste of the roast. I always roast a pork loin in a mixture of white wine and water, accenting the roast with olive oil, garlic cloves and fresh rosemary.
The only difference in preparation was that the recipe calls for the pork loin to be marinated (in a plastic sealable bag) in olive oil, garlic, rosemary, bay leaf, white wine, salt and pepper. The pork is to be marinated "for several hours" in the refrigerator. Because of time constraints, I allowed the pork to marinate only for a couple of hours; however, the shortened marinating time didn't seem to make a difference in the outcome.
One important difference I did notice was that it took longer for the pork loin to cook than the recipe suggests. In retrospect, I think the recommended temperature for the second phase of roasting is too low and/or the roasting time is too short. If I had to do it over again, I would have lowered the temperature to 350 or 325 degrees, not 300, and would have roasted the pork for a longer period.
Other than the unexpected extra cooking time, the pork roast turned out well – tender and flavorful. I chose to prepare it for my favorite dinner companion who happens to have Type II diabetes. I didn't reveal, though, that the recipe came from a cookbook for DIABETICS, since that seemed like a possible dinner "downer." And, that's part of the beauty of this cookbook: one wouldn't necessarily notice that the recipes are designed for people who have diabetes.
While the cookbook was written for children specifically, the recipes are sophisticated enough to appeal to adult palates. I suspect that children craving chicken nuggets and fries will appreciate especially the recipes in the "Takeout Made In" section.
From a practical standpoint, the cookbook's size (six by eight inches) is easy to handle. The spiral-bound format allows the book to lie flat, or, if the cook prefers, the handy size makes it possible for the book to stand up on a kitchen counter without toppling over.

Pork Roast
4-pound loin of pork, bone in
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, sliced
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 bay leaf
1 cup dry white wine
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Place the pork roast in a large plastic bag that can be sealed. Mix the oil, garlic, rosemary, bay leaf, wine and salt and pepper in a small bowl until combined; add to the pork. Seal the bag; massage to ensure the pork is evenly coated with the marinade. Marinate for several hours in the refrigerator, turning occasionally.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Place the loin in a roasting pan set on a rack. Season with more salt and pepper and baste the loin with the marinade. Roast for about 20 minutes, or until browned. Turn the heat down to 300 degrees and roast for another 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 150 degrees. Baste with the marinade while roasting.
Allow the pork to rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve slices on warm plates.
Serves 6.

From the moment a brand is born, it needs to be maintained, and having a set of tools helps multiple teams maintain consistency with tone of voice, colour, typography, advertising, social media… every part of a brands expression should have its own set of tools to help it grow.
A typical set of tools are likely to consist of brand guidelines, identity guidelines, master mark sheets, brand extranets, stationery templates, presentation templates, brand training tools, brand engagement tools and more.

This produce really does make everyday problems and stress much easier to deal with.

I was hoping this would work for my anxiety/panic disorder. It did not relax me enough, just slightly. Granted I did not take 3 caps 3x day. I also take some prescriptions so don't want to take too much. Maybe works at the recommend dose, or for people with less anxiety.
